Would you care to be little more specific? like: this program compiled in xx secs under Go 1.5.x . It now takes xx secs under Go 1.6.x or my Benchmarks ran in xx secs under Go 1.5.x . They now takes xx secs under Go 1.6.x We are seeing little or no changes between 1.5 und 1.6 in both time to Compile and the performance of the Compiled code. In our case, time to compile is 12 to 18 % slower than 1.4.2 and this was introduced in 1.5. with the native Go compiler. The performance of the Compiled code comparison has lost relevance. Prior to 1.5 we tested for, and were experiencing ,delays relating to the GC. These delays are no longer experienced. Nigel Vickers |
| Re: [go-nuts] Go 1.6 Beta 1 is released | Brian Hatfield | 18/12/15 06:36 | I noticed that the release notes don't make mention of https://github.com/golang/go/issues/13283, which is fixed on master (though Github doesn't seem to know about the tag go1.6beta1 in the webui - were the recent tags successfully synced to Github?). Though I am obviously biased as the reporter of 13283, I would imagine that it's worth a note in the DNS changes block. Thoughts? -- |

| Re: [go-nuts] Re: Go 1.6 Beta 1 is released | Rob 'Commander' Pike | 19/12/15 06:16 | If you only rarely need a huge buffer, you can set max very large but start with a smaller buffer. -rob On Sat, Dec 19, 2015 at 2:51 AM, Peter Kleiweg <pkle...@xs4all.nl> wrote:

| Go 1.6 Beta 1 is released | Peter Kleiweg | 19/12/15 09:24 | I still see no fix for the godoc problem that exists since Go version 1.2. I mean where the web interface of godoc drives process load to 80 on start up, making the computer unresponsive for a few minutes. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/6817 Is there any indication of when this will be fixed? |
| Re: [go-nuts] Go 1.6 Beta 1 is released | David Symonds | 19/12/15 12:50 | That issue has a milestone of "Unplanned", so that's the indication.
It's most likely waiting for someone particularly motivated to tackle it. |

Was the problem widely reported (like in blogs) or widely felt? It doesn't seem that way, but I don't have a great view of the situation. More data is always helpful. Thanks. Russ |

That environment variable was introduced with Go 1.5 and controls the vendor experiment that was also introduced in that release. Go 1.6 is only flipping the default for that experiment to be enabled. |
